    he got a price on the ring $25,000

    abit steep for him he wants to pay around $15,000

    so hes gonna look to trade the old diamond he has back to the jeweler
    and go from there
    if he can get 10,000 for the old diamond ,, then the first price can work

    15 +10=25

    ill be sure to keep u cats updated lol

    old diamond from the girl yous "took it back" from? That was funny, I read that.
    "she thought she was keeping it, uh, wrong. "
    but let us know how it goes after the trip! That is so awesome. Congrats in advance to them :)

    :eek: I dunno, I mean I'd love a big expensive rock on my hand... BUT at the same time there's no way in hell I'd let him break the bank (which will ultimately be OUR bank ;) ). I had a cousin who said she wouldn't get engaged unless the ring was worth at least £10,000 stg. I really don't get that. I'd like the ring as a kinda symbol... not a status thing. And if all he could afford was a piece of shit ring well it's still the symbol and I'd be more moved by that probably than some big expensive gesture :o but hey, if I got the big expensive ring I wouldn't say no either
    that's my dream, the Tiffany Novo ring. 2 carats. Obviously not as big as this one, this is crazy
    but
    http://www.tiffany.com/Engagement/Item.aspx?subCategoryid=1005

    that's my dream ring. It's priced starting at $2910.

    but basically I'd like something in that style, it doesn't *have* to be from Tiffany's ;)

    anything shiny and sparkly is good for me :)
    I have stronger feelings on the subject but I don't want to get into a big debate.

    That's a pretty one, Allie. My favorite from Tiffany is the Lucida. :D

    I have strong feelings about this subject, too... But, they are somewhat conflicted....so I haven't participated in this discussion. ;) On one hand, I'm against the idea that there should be any large amount of money spent on a ring. On the other hand, I LOOOOVE mine, and still drool over it after two years of wearing it, and I'm glad that my husband splurged on it... So yeah...I'm a big old hypocrite. :D

    oooh that's nice too!
    I used to be in love with the 'classic' one but I saw the ad for that Novo ring and I was like 'thud'

    I don't think there's anything wrong with loving your ring
    I guess the safest thing I can say on the subject is this, I wouldn't DEMAND for anyone to spend that much money on me
    but if they did, I wouldn't send it back :)

    but I do agree with that 3 months salary rule type of thing about buying a ring
    and if a man does make a lot of money like PJ's bro I don't think there's anything wrong with buying a big honking rock and taking her on a trip to propose
    it's his life and money

    actually my dream would be that ring and the guy proposing by the Eiffel tower.
    oh and hi J Lo, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

    And that's how I feel, too. That sums it up nicely. :)

    I don't have an opinion on how much someone should spend...only that I think people should spend whatever they want, as long as they can afford it and aren't spending a lot on credit out of obligation...know what I mean? We all have different ideas about what's important and what's not (regarding material things).

    And happy thanksgiving to you, too! :D

    I agree, no one should feel obligated to buy anyone anything. I wouldn't make a demand, just a request.
    But I plan to marry someone who is ok with my request :) hee hee!

    oooooooohh that's a nice one :) and yep, anything shiny and sparkley is good enough for me too, lol.

    And I agree that if he could afford it, I probably would not complain at all and would show it off to anyone who'd look. I'd imagine I'm probably quite the hypocrite here too :)

    no I know what you mean, I would be flabbergasted if I found out someone spent $25K on anything for me
    but,
    if they have it and that's what they choose to do with it, who am I to turn it down? :)

    I disagree with the idea of spending that much on the wedding though. That's a house payment or like you said, a trip! I want to marry in a small chapel and have like a backyard bbq reception. I'm getting my dress (when the time comes) at David's Bridal (which is sort of like a low price chain store)
    and I'm not spending more than $100 for a dress I'm wearing once!

    I agree with the wedding thing too... it's absolutely ridiculous. I think that's actually the average price of a wedding over here... that's a feckin joke. Why do you need to spend that much to get married? I think smaller ones are sweeter too.
